Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike is built for younger or smaller intermediate riders progressing through the motocross ranks, not beginners on two wheels entirely.
PurposeIt's a dedicated closed-course motocross racer designed for competitive off-road jumps, whoops, and berms rather than any form of road use.
Rider FitIts low wet weight and compact 34.1 inch seat height suit lighter, smaller-statured riders such as pre-teens and young teens moving up from mini bikes.
CharacterThe KX112 rewards an aggressive, committed riding style with sharp, flickable handling and strong suspension travel for serious motocross training.
Not Ideal ForThis is not suitable for adult commuting, highway travel, passengers, or anyone seeking comfort and touring capability.

2022 Kawasaki KX112 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 871mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2022 Kawasaki KX112, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
